Should have no problem at all, there are several great ones floating among the posting right now.mi expect you'll have some great options presented to ya shortly.
Walmart had a DPMS for like $519 but they have other brands including Sig Sauer M400 for like $860..thing is I dont know anything about AR rifles as far as brands that are reliable and good vs those to stay away from.
Nice Ruger SR-556 on her for 1k but in your price range I advise PSA. Build it, or buy it if you dont want a build. Cheaper to build.
What are you wanting to do with the rifle? That dictates what to buy more then anything. Personally for at your price point I would be inclined to save another $100 and buy a Colt. If you shop around you might be able to build a quailty milspec rifle for $900, I know that my BCM ended up running me $1050, but I could have cut out $200+ without much effort if I went with a standard stock, standard barrel, A2 pistol grip and no ASAP. Just need to shop around for parts.
I would suggest also reading Wallace's review on the PSA 16". His is an out of the box, I have built all of mine (I have SEVERAL PSA). Your not too far from me, should you want to check out some options I shoot every weekend and you're welcome to join us. After a chance to shoot a Wally World Colt M4.... I am completely disgusted at the fit finish and quality of anything being mass produced right now.
i would HIGHLY suggest getting with any number of people here with experience in The AR 15 platform and learn as you go. I have seen time after time partially assembled firearms come across my bench, or worse not function and have terminal malfunctions.
For a build you need a stripped lower receiver, lower parts kit, stock assembly, and complete upper receiver "complete upper recommended to minimize work and tools required" Shoot me a PM if you want some help or look up building an AR on arfcom.
Check out David at Classic City Firearms and you will have money left over for mags and ammo.
